Wow what a year this has been, with the oil prices up my day job has been a 10-12 hour a day thing most of the year. Commissions for the most part have been the typical 3 to 5 I shoot for with in a year but the last 3 week have been unreal. I am now booked through May based on a 4 month turn around, with just what I have taken deposits on and I have 3 more quotes out. Out of those I think I will get 2 for sure and the other is pretty good chance. There is a real good chance I will have a years booking in a month or two. And here I was trying to free up the winter to get the web site up and running and do some plan drawings for both me and Brock and build me a couple guitars. It is like I have suddenly been discovered ![]() I have to give the forum credit for two orders and the rest were word of mouth. I like those. ![]() |

That's great, Michael! Things are moving along just as they should, and I'd wager that when you reach your 10-year building mark (IIRC, you said you're more than halfway there already) you'll be able to make a full-time living at lutherie--if you want to, of course! |
